Bovine teeth that were treated with acidulated fluoride before and after etching with phosphoric acid produced adhesive bonds with fissure sealers that were lower than those of untreated controls. Human teeth from an area of high natural fluoridation were shown to be extremely resistant to etching with citric and phosphoric acids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
